[Management of atrial fibrillation in patients with cardiac stimulators or defibrillators: the possibilities of telemonitoring].
Some cardiac stimulators and defibrillators can be followed by telemonitoring. Telemonitoring permits diagnosis of atrial fibrillation episodes, which are frequently asymptomatic. Combination of holter memories with telemonitoring gives numerous informations about arrhythmias occurring. This can help to optimize rhythm control, rate control or anticoagulation. Examples issued from practice are presented in this article.
